Japanese style of building are a thing of wonder. I love their style and proper functionality — not a single bit of space is wasted, and this build by Gzu is a perfect example of this.
You can see the attention the builder has paid to all the details, like the little sandals at the door, and admire the functional sliding doors, smart toilet, tea table, small bed, and even the tiny bath. But if you choose, you can always go for something bigger:
So, who is ready for a vacation to Japan?
Looks like someone is still trying to fulfil their new year’s resolution. Kosbrick has created a perfect brick-built gym scene for his current Iron Builder contest, and the use of the paint roller handle is genius.
On his blog, Kos explains the build was a reminder of official modular builds, and I’ve got to say it does. It also reminds me that I do have to hit the gym really soon!
As a fan of horror movies, I know that a good monster has to have character. It’s why even if they’re scary, you can’t look away. The Harvestman, by the always intriguing Djordje, has character in spades.
The shapes of this LEGO creation are amazing and a great use of the new pieces released with the new buildable Star Wars figures, but the biggest draw here is the face — the shape, the fact that it only has one creepy yellow eye with just 3 fangs. It looks like it belongs in a Tim Burton stop motion film, and it was built with LEGO. In fact, I would love to see a stop motion horror film starring Djordje’s builds.
“Welcome to the Mecha Racing League (MRL), the only sport worth following! You can watch mechas race, rumble with each other, or participate in the most awesome Capture The Flag ever. Here is a sample of the most awesome machines ever built just for the entertainment of the human race. I present Spine, a speed-type mech built for tricks:
And in the heart of these beasts, there are runners. With the reflexes of gods and the insanity of demons, they are bound to become the heroes of this generation!”
Now that is a sport I would watch and follow religiously. MRL is an idea I got after I finished reading the Air Gear manga. As an Anime fan, I’ve always found mechs the most awesome use of technology in science-fiction, ever since I watched Mazinger as a kid. But I’ve always seen them used for battle, and don’t get me wrong, that is still my favorite use for mechs, but I want to mix their strength with our fascination of watching things go fast.
This is my second LEGO build on this theme. It was particularly fun to make, with a cockpit that requires the whole mecha to move forward, which I find really cool. By the way, you are all welcome to join the fun; you can find the guidelines required to make a mech for the MRL here.
